KYMA The art and science of cooking is elegantly on display at Kyma, a Mediterranean seafood restaurant focusing on traditional Greek specialties with fresh fish imported directly from its home region. Seafood, especially fresh seafood, is taken to lofty extremes when eaten outdoors. There is something about the open air that immediately raises the eater’s enjoyment of succulent seafaring foods. At Kyma, the breathtaking ambiance transports visitors on a culinary journey through the Greek islands, with dishes like octopus, fresh grilled sardines, bronzini, and local catches like black sea bass and red snapper. Giant tiger shrimp also entice eaters, simply grilled with extra virgin olive oil, while sweet and succulent langoustines offer exotic perfection. Land lovers have plenty to choose from as well, with free-range chicken, lamb chops, veal and a 16-ounce grilled black angus sirloin steak.

MP TAVERNA MP Taverna’s modern interpretation of a Greek tavern is elevated when diners can step outside and a enjoy a taste of the warm Mediterranean. The restaurant’s menu includes a popular section known as “meze” or small plates, which includes Grandma’s Greek meatballs, fried calamari and Cypriot lamb sausage. Popular entrées include the grilled branzino, Greek paella and the mix grill with a daily selection of meats. Adding to the atmosphere is the “whole animal” option, which continues the Greek tradition of marking celebrations with the roasting of a whole animal—spring lamb, kid goat, suckling pig and more. The restaurant requires five days notice to prepare this feast, but coupled with an outdoor setting,

BESITO Besito’s Roslyn location continues the restaurant’s dedication to local and fresh Mexican ingredients served with a cultural flair that is unique, vibrant and warm. And during the summer months, outdoor dining at this lively locale adds a new level of ambiance to the delicious dynamics. For a taste of authenticity, order guacamole prepared tableside in a traditional molcajete, a Mexican version of a mortar and pestle. Take it to the next level for an appetizer with Panquesito de Jaiba, a crisp jumbo lump crab cake with a roasted habanero cream sauce and more. For entrées, Besito offers iron skillet creations, as well as main courses prepared with traditional Mexican ingredients like ancho adobo, mole sauce, salsa de guajillo, among others.

Perfect Dips For Summer (Or Any Time) BY CHRISTY HINKO

CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ands down, dips and spreads make the all-time favorites list when it comes to appetizers, but are as equally yummy as the finger food appetizer counterparts like deviled eggs, chicken wings, nachos and quesadillas. That said, dips and spreads are in a class of their own. The list of possible ingredients is endless, although many have a standard base ingredient, a cream cheese or a sour cream. The added ingredients are wide-ranging too: anything from some of the more savory things like artichokes, avocados, bacon, mushrooms, olives, herbs, spices, beans, cheeses, nuts and seafood to sweets like yogurts and fruity mangoes and apples. They are so versatile and come in so many variations and easily complement any holiday, event

or occasion. And when you are planning a party, your appetizer menu is one of the first things you consider, including some of the more preliminary questions to ask yourself when adding a dip or spread to your menu. It’s important to consider how easily the dip or spread transfers. Is it scoopable? Is it spreadable? Do you need a sturdy cracker or chip to pair with it? Which utensils are best suited for the job? Is it served in a bowl or on a plate? Is it served warm or chilled? So whether it’s a tailgating or football party, a barbecue or beach picnic, a bridal shower or a holiday get-together, dips and spreads are sure to be crowd-pleasers. Here are five of my personal family recipes, some have been passed down more than four generations already.

Creamy Spinach Dip

8 oz cream cheese, cubed ¼ cup whipping cream 5 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 2 Tbsp diced pimento 2 tsp finely chopped onion 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce ½ tsp ground thyme ¼ tsp garlic salt Combine cream cheese and whipping cream in greased “Little Dipper” Crockpot (warming slow cooker). Cover and heat until cheese is melted, 30 to 60 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and heat 30 minutes. Serve with raw vegetables, crackers or bread pieces.

Sour Cream And Chives Dip

Cheese Ball

½ cup mayonnaise ½ cup sour cream 1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives pinch of garlic salt Mix ingredients together and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

8 oz cream cheese, softened ¼ cup chopped walnuts (or almonds or pecans) 1 Tbsp cooking sherry ½ cup chopped Spanish olives ¼ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped In medium bowl, combine first four ingredients. Shape into a ball and chill, covered for at least three hours. Roll in toasted walnuts to coat. Serve with crackers; Triscuit or any sturdy cracker work best. Makes about ½ cup.

Seven Layer Taco Dip

Mix 16 oz sour cream and a package of taco seasoning in a medium bowl. Spread this mixture in a 9x11 casserole dish. Layer the following ingredients over the sour cream mixture in thin layers. 16 oz can of refried beans 1 lb browned ground beef, drained 6 oz can black olives, chopped 1 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded small 1 cup diced tomatoes 2 cup shredded cheese Three things that I switch up each time I make this. Sometimes I soften the refried beans in the microwave for 30 seconds before I drop small teaspoons across the sour cream mixture. It does not spread that easily. Other times, I mix the beans with the ground beef and then spread it. Sometimes I serve the dip cold, other times I warm it in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes so the cheese melts. If I serve it warmed, I leave the lettuce out of the recipe altogether.

Creamy Hot Artichoke Dip

Summer Grilling Ingredient: Wine BY JENNIFER FAUCI

JFAUCI@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

elevision host and winner of the Food Network Star competition, Jeff Mauro, teamed up with Mark West wine to create delicious grilling recipes that will last all summer. “For summer grilling, I love Mark West pinot noir because it’s so light and has so many complex, fruity flavors in there, it’s not going to overpower anything,” said Mauro. “I even love marinating with it, especially grilled meats and vegetables.” For Mauro, pinot noir is a wine that is light enough for the summertime and pairs well with such a huge spectrum of dishes. As for his signature recipes, Mauro shared his wine-marinated beef tenderloin, burrata crostini and ice cream sundae, all created exclusively to pair with and include Mark West California pinot noir. Each of the recipes bring out the cola, cherry and plum notes from this medium-bodied wine, perfect to enjoy all summer long.

Cool Down Your Summer With A Winesicle Yield: Six 3-ounce ice pops Everyone loves an ice-cold pop to cool down the summer with. But for adults, sometimes a sugary treat won’t do. But fear not, grown ups, because there is finally an ice pop for you: the winesicle. By blending fresh fruit, yogurt and wine, the perfect summer treat can be found right in your pantry. And if not, a bottle of cabernet sauvignon by Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi is the perfect red to brighten up this icy treat. Red Layer 2 cups halved, hulled strawberries 1 Tbsp sugar 2 Tbsp Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi cabernet sauvignon White Layer 1 cup Greek yogurt 2 Tbsp heavy cream 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 2 Tbsp lime juice Blue Layer 2 cups blueberries ½ cup blackberries

2 Tbsp granulated sugar 2 Tbsp lime juice 1. For the red layer, place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. 2. Fill the ice pop molds ⅓ of the way and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. 3. For the white layer, blend ingredients until combined. 4. Remove the molds from the freezer and fill each another ⅓ of the way, freeze until firm, about another 30 minutes. 5. For the blue layer, blend ingredients until combined. 6. Remove the molds from the freezer and fill each another ⅓ of the way. Leave about ¼-inch of space at the top of the mold. 7. Freeze until solid, about five hours. You may have extra fruit puree, depending on the size of your berries, but save that for a pie, ice cream topping or a sweet drizzle for your morning pancakes.

A Summer Of Flavor: Savory And Sweet Recipes Mushroom and Burrata Crostini 2 pints of cremini mushrooms 1 shallot, rough chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped 2 Tbsp of fresh thyme, minced 4 Tbsp of butter ¼ cup dry sherry 8 oz fresh burrata cheese or whole milk ricotta 12 slices French baguette, sliced on the bias ½-inch thick, toasted Olive oil, for drizzling on crostini Salt and pepper 1.

For the crostini: Drizzle each side of the baguette slices with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and toast in oven until lightly golden, about 7 to 10 minutes. 5. Once toasted, spoon mushrooms on top, then add a slice of burrata. Garnish with cracked black pepper and sea salt.

Grilled Marinated Tenderloin with Charred Onion Chimichurri Marinated Filet 1 2-3 lb center cut beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied with butcher twine 1 cup Mark West California Pinot Noir ¼ cup olive oil 2 shallots, chopped 4 sprigs of fresh thyme

1. Mix together pinot noir, olive oil, shallots and thyme. Place in zipper-topped bag with tenderloin and marinate in refrigerator for four hours. Remove and blot thoroughly with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and fresh black pepper. 2. Heat grill to high heat. Place tenderloin on side of grill and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 12 minutes. Slide roast to cooler side of grill, arranging so roast is about seven inches from heat source. 3. Cover and cook until beef registers 125 degrees, 50 minutes to 1¼ hours. 4. Transfer roast to carving board, remove butcher twine, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 minutes. Discard twine and slice roast ½ inch thick. Top with chimichurri and serve.

Charred Maui Onion Chimichurri 1 Maui onion, cut in 1-inch rounds (substitute with Vidalia onion if Maui onion is unavailable) 1 cup flat leaf parsley ¼ cup fresh cilantro 2 garlic cloves, minced ¼ cup red wine vinegar ½ cup extra virgin olive oil ½ tsp crushed red pepper Salt and pepper 1. Heat grill to high heat. Char each side of onions over high heat until crisp and blackened, about 5-7 minutes a side. 2. In a food processor, add charred onions, parsley, cilantro, garlic and vinegar. Pulse until combined but still a bit coarse, about 10 pulses. 3. Add in red pepper and slowly drizzle in oil and pulse about five more times. Season to taste and set aside to meld. Can be made up to three days in advance.

Strawberry and Pinot Noir Ice Cream Sundae with Crushed Cashews 2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered 1¼ cup granulated sugar ½ 750 ml bottle of Mark West California pinot noir Zest from 1 lemon Juice from 1 lemon ½ vanilla bean Vanilla bean ice cream 1 cup roasted and salted cashews, crushed Whipped cream 1. In a wide, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, wine and lemon juice. 2. Split the vanilla bean down the middle, scraping the seeds into the berry mixture, then adding the bean pod. 3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the strawberries have released some of their juices. 4. Spoon warm over vanilla ice cream and top with crushed cashews and whipped cream.

The Thrill Of Bluefish

A summertime fishing challenge and equally a culinary delight

eadboats are 50-60 foot fishing vessels that carry 20-40 men and women who pay a captain to catch fish. Rods and reels and bait are provided along with radar to find your fish of choice. My brother and I enjoyed these outings off the Montauk and Connecticut shores. If the conditions are right, you can land several fish in a couple of hours. Summertime brings schools of bluefish and stripers

(striped bass) to the Eastern shores that challenge the best of us. We always enjoyed fishing for these species because of their fight and culinary delight. We also loved the process of driving early in the morning to the docks to meet our fishing boat and the excitement of getting out on the water. Cleaning and preparing a delicious meal of flatfish was considered a transcendent experience for many of us. One morning we left the docks early with lunches and snacks to tide us over. It was a

little windy that day but the sky was blue and the water flat. Captain Tony was one of our favorites because of his skill in finding fish. We were already hungry by 10 a.m. so we opened our cooler and shared a pastrami sandwich. All of a sudden the wind picked up and so did the fishing. We all began to drop our silver, diamond jigs to the bottom being careful not to get bitten by the razor sharp teeth of our catch as they flopped onto the deck of our boat. The fish kept hitting our lines as we began the heady experience of catching fish at a remarkable pace. I accidentally dropped my sandwich on the floor boards of the boat but could not have cared less as I joined my brother on the rails who had already pulled in two big ones. All of a sudden no more than 25 yards off the starboard side of the boat, a whirling water funnel rose like a cyclone to a height of about 75 feet in the air. Everyone was awe struck and uncertain what to do except to keep fishing. The captain knew that if the funnel moved towards us let alone struck us, we could capsize. But just as quickly as it arose it disappeared back to the surface. We were dumbstruck and relieved over our good

Bluefish Recipe Serves 4

4 Tbsp butter Juice and zest of half of a lemon, plus four thin slices of lemon Two slices of filleted bluefish, each cut in half Heat oven to 425 degrees or a grill until charcoals are white. Toss smoked paprika on top of sliced lemons placed on fillets. Cook on a sheet tray on the middle rack for 10-12 minutes or on your outdoor grill. Within 10 minutes or so, fish is done. A good test is when your fork easily cuts through the white flesh (dark flesh is fat). If your fish is too moist cook 5 minutes more. No need to turn over. Another cooking option is to wrap your catch in foil with aromatics like capers, mayo, chopped plum tomatoes, red onions, a sprig of thyme and basil, a branch of fennel, 1 oz. of butter with a pinch of salt and cayenne to taste.

MUSIC

Dion: Blues With A New York Twist

Fifth Annual

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

hen you mention the blues, the image most people conjure in their minds is some place in the Deep South replete with levees, juke joints and some proximity to the Mississippi River. So while the Bronx may literally be hundreds of miles away from places like Clarkson, MS, and Memphis, TN, it didn’t matter to Dion DiMucci, who grew up in the Belmont section of the borough embracing artists like Jimmy Reed and Hank Williams on the country music side of the coin. And while most know him for his early success as a doo-wop teen idol in the late 1950s and early 1960s, his love of these genres has carried through from that time up to a string of solid records he’s released in the past decade.

The world’s largest local philanthropy, UJA-Federation of New York cares for Jews everywhere and New Yorkers of all backgrounds, connects people to their Jewish communities, and responds to crises — in New York, in Israel, and around the world.

This musical love affair became more readily apparent to the general public thanks to efforts like Bronx in Blue (2006), Son of Skip James (2007) and Tank Full of Blues (2011). After a five-year lull, Dion is back with the Jimmy Vivinoproduced New York is My Home, a collection of songs reflecting his adoration of roots music and whose centerpiece is a title duet he cut with longtime friend Paul Simon. “Paul and I have been friends a long time. I was in his apartment when there was a terrible downturn in the country and he wanted to do something for the city, which is the way he put it. I thought it was off the Richter Scale. So when I wrote [the title track], ‘New York Is My Home,’ I thought this could help New Yorkers fall in love with the city all over again,” Dion explained. “I called him and told him it was a very personal song and I saw it as a love song to the city of my birth and my girl. So I sent him the song and sang it for him. We both have a love for rock & roll street music the way it was done when we were kids and I knew Paul would get the song—and he did. He called to say he was really into it and we started talking. He’s such a historian and has so many gifts

when it comes to harmonies, guitar playing, singing, conceptualizing and distinctive sounds. He started talking about the Diablos and what sounds he likes better than The Cleftones. He’s from Queens and I’m from the Bronx. We’re both at home in New York. It was a trip and a labor of love for the both of us.” A big reason why Dion has been able to go down this particular path is his friendship and business relationship with music industry legend Richard Gottehrer. Gottehrer got his start as a Brill Building songwriter/producer whose fingerprints are on classics like “Hang On Sloopy,” “I Want Candy” and “My Boyfriend’s Back.” He later went on to helm projects by Blondie, Richard Hell, The Go-Go’s and The Bongos. In recent years, Dion’s fellow Bronx native co-founded The Orchard, a digital music company that’s getting ready to celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. It is Gottehrer’s company that has been giving Dion the outlet for his work. “Richard and I go back a long way. I’ve had a lot of significant songs get out there to people, and it was all done with not-big labels. I did go to big labels, but most of the success and most of the songs that have gone ballistic, like

‘Runaround Sue,’ ‘The Wanderer’ and ‘Abraham, Martin & John’ were all done on a small label, and that doesn’t bother me,’ Dion said. “Richard is enthusiastic and we both go back to when I was with Columbia, where we would write songs together. We wrote a song called ‘Gonna Make It Alone’ and a couple of others with Bert Berns.” While Gottehrer had lost touch with Dion for a few decades, a chance encounter listening to NPR’s All Things Considered several years ago threw him for a loop when he realized the old blues guy he thought he was listening to was in fact his old friend. After reconnecting and batting some ideas around, Dion took the plunge and released Bronx in Blue. Gottehrer’s admiration for Dion’s ability to evolve from being a teen idol into someone with a mastery of roots music continues to impress the septuagenarian record executive.

“Being a pop star is great, but you always look around and think there’s something of substance beyond that. Success isn’t everything. Doing things you love and doing them really well and being great at it while satisfying yourself and

the public as well is important,” Gottehrer said. “But Dion has the ability to do that and he loves this music. He continually represented this intangible, indescribable feeling that really is rock and roll and soulful music.

Dion is an exceptionally valid artist for whatever generation to discover.” For Dion, the restlessness to grow as an artist and love for what he does is a fountain of youth for him, particularly when he’s got a running buddy like Vivino in the studio to drive him. “I feel more relevant and creative today than I did when I was making

‘The Wanderer.’ So it’s a fun time for me. I tell Jimmy [Vivino], ‘Let’s make music that cannot be denied,’ and that’s how it goes.” Dion will be appearing on July 29 at NYCB Theatre @ Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Rd., Westbury.

Late Summer Gardening Guide BY KAREN MUSGRAVE

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ummer may almost be over but you can continue to reap the benefits of its beauty well into fall with some simple TLC.

It’s a good rule of thumb to walk your property every week. This gives you the opportunity to see what’s doing well and what’s struggling. Weekly walks let you get in front of an issue before it’s a serious problem. Here are some things you should look for each week. What’s Blooming?

You’ve spent the time to create a beautiful garden, now get out there and enjoy it! See what’s blooming and take some cuttings of your favorites to create a bouquet for indoors. In addition to cutting traditional flowers like roses, day lilies and coneflower, snip some hosta leaves, boxwood branches and herbs such as lavender, make it interesting.

How’s the Lawn?

Marcel’s What Needs Some Help? If you notice plants that are

drooping or turning yellow or brown, water may be the issue. It is still extremely hot outside and your garden beds and lawn need moisture. Water infrequently and deeply no more than once or twice a week. This encourages a deeper root system, which is healthier for plants, including grass. Frequent sprinklings encourage shallow roots that struggle during stressful periods of drought. It’s best to water early in the morning as it encourages foliage to dry before evening, avoiding the possibility of stress.

Look for weeds, fungus...anything out of the ordinary. Identifying lawn problems early allows you to deal with them quickly and swiftly before they spread. Another good idea is to test your lawn sprinkler system. Turn it on during the day so you can visually identify if all of the zones are

working. So many times an area of the lawn has dried out because someone accidentally broke a sprinkler head with a weed whacker or lawn mower.

What Can you Add?

Now is an excellent time to take stock of where the bare spots are in the garden. Do you need a few additional flowers or shrubs? Take pictures and save them for your next shopping trip to the nursery.

Divide and Conquer!

Perennials such as day lilies and hosta can be divided after blooming and relocated throughout your garden. Or share extra plants with friends.

Fall is just around the corner...

Have you ever wondered how farm stands have such great produce in the fall? They plant a second crop now! The warm summer temperatures help a plant to establish its root system while the cool weather of fall encourages bountiful yields. Many vegetables, including lettuce and broccoli, can be harvested until the ground freezes. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the last month of summer pass you by, take care of your garden now and reap the benefits until winter.

Outdoor Kitchens

Viking 42-inch-wide outdoor 5 Series gas grill is shown here built into a custom enclosure.

Elevate the art of barbecue to new heights BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA

KDIJKSTRA@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

s the weather heats up, so does our desire to soak up the sun, breathe in the fresh air and prepare our meals outdoors. Backyard kitchens and grilling areas have become extremely popular in recent years—and as demand has increased, design and appliance options have expanded as well. Get in on the latest trend and relocate your summer cooking, dining and entertaining outside. Something new is always happening in the world of outdoor kitchens. “People are doing a lot of fire cooking, both indoors and outdoors, on grills, which we find to be a very good thing for flavor results,” said Ben Eisendrath, president of Grillworks (www.grillery.com), maker of Argentineinspired, American-made wood-burning grills. Grillworks tackles design from an outdoor perspective. “[In the past], people had been duplicating their indoor kitchens,” Eisendrath said. “Since our grills have an open-fire approach, they are a great complement to outdoor designs.” The open hearth of the Architectural line allows

you to see what’s cooking and therefore becomes the natural centerpiece of your outdoor living space. The line comes in widths from 30 inches to 60 inches, with many options available to fit your specific needs, such as placement of the crank wheel and grilling surfaces. Every Grillworks grill is stainless steel and built to order, by hand. “I recommend the Dual 48 Architectural grill for serious grillers,” added Eisendrath. With a professional grill, the summer entertaining possibilities are endless. “Outdoor storage is the newest thing now,” said Mel Gassman (516-4488970), a granite fabricator from Albertson. “Masons go out and build a wall, a big expanse, to put wood

This Grillworks Architectural grill, installed with a new chimney on the back of this house using matching brick located by the architect, has the optional steel fire grates standing on the hearth.

The Grillworks Open Architectural 48 can also be installed in a counter cutout.

Storage is the latest necessity in outdoor kitchens.

for burning, glasses, dishes and whatever you use.” An alternative to custom-built storage is prefabricated cabinets and drawers, available from companies like Viking (www.vikingrange. com; available at P.C. Richards) and DCS (www.dcsappliances. com). Outside refrigeration is also an up-and-coming trend. Gassman has even encountered a dishwasher installed outdoors. But to keep it functioning, you must protect it. Since Long Island experiences harsh winters, Gassman said, “You need a water system that’s totally drainable in order to winterize it so the lines don’t freeze.” Similar considerations can be taken to protect granite countertops from the winter as well. This process entails using a granite cleaner and sealer at the end of the season. “If you want the stone to appear as nice as the day you bought it year after year, you can use shrink wrap,” Gassman explained. “Or you can let it get a patina and age naturally.” Every choice relates to the aesthetic you wish to see in your backyard. Gassman recommends Viking appliances

for outdoor kitchens. Viking’s new line of professional outdoor 5 Series grills are available in widths from 30 inches to 54 inches in both liquid petroleum and natural gas. This line includes built-in LED lights, which accent the control panel and illuminate knobs for better visibility when grilling at night. You can add a side burner, wok cooker, warming drawers, ventilation, undercounter refrigeration and stainless steel cabinets to complete your outdoor kitchen— and perhaps make it even more functional than your indoor one. “Once the grill, outdoor companion products and Viking cabinets are ordered from the Viking dealer, only countertops are needed to complete the kitchen,” said Brent Bailey, director of brand management. “It’s that easy.” Exclusive to the 5 Series is a 15,000 BTU infrared rotisserie burner, which locks in flavor and juices for perfectly roasted meats. Imagine a summer full of tender rotisserie chickens, juicy steaks and mouth-watering ribs. Once you’ve installed an outdoor kitchen, you’ll never want to cook inside again.

World Team Tennis Comes To Forest Hills Stadium BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

DGILDERUBIO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

wned by the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills Stadium has enjoyed a recent renaissance thanks to a slate of live music performances by the likes of Paul Simon, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan and The Who that’s returned this Queens venue back to its vaunted stature as a legendary arena. Seeing as the stadium’s initial and primary focus was as a stage for tennis (the U.S. Open was played here until 1978, when it moved to Flushing Meadows), this piece of history is being resurrected as World Team Tennis (WTT) is returning for the month of August. Save for a 2008 U.S. Open women’s satellite tournament, this will be the first time professional tennis will be returning to Forest Hills in nearly four decades.

The stadium’s usual 14,000-seat capacity will be reconfigured to accommodate 2,500 fans, who’ll be watching the New York Empire play its home matches throughout the month of August. Madison House Presents music promoter/booking agent Mike Luba, who got things back on track by bringing in national acts along with general manager Jon McMillan, is a lifelong lover of the game and hopes to capture the attention of people gearing up for the U.S Open over at nearby Flushing Meadows Corona Park. “Professional tennis is coming back to Forest Hills for the first time in a long time. It’s world team tennis. Patrick McEnroe is the coach and Andy Roddick is the captain,” he explained. “Over the course of two weeks, they’re going to play six matches here, and then the actual

finals for the whole league will be held here on Aug. 27. It’s a little more of a work in progress, but it’s tons of fun and everyone is hopeful that people will come out to see some great tennis.” Sponsored by pharmaceutical company Mylan, WTT has been around since 1974 and despite its relatively low profile, it made its mark on pop culture thanks to the 1975 Elton John smash “Philadelphia Freedom,”

which he penned for his friend Billie Jean King, who was then part of the WTT franchise of the same name. Over time, league co-founder King was one of numerous famous names from the world of tennis that have participated in the league and include Jimmy Connors, Martina Navratilova, the Williams sisters, the McEnroe brothers, Chris Evert and Pete Sampras. It’s a legacy that brings back great memories to current Empire captain Andy Roddick when he’s asked about the first time WTT crossed his radar. “I went to a match at McFarland Tennis Center in San Antonio, TX. I watched Jimmy Connors play Sammy Giammalva and I think it was 1991. It was just before my ninth birthday. It was awesome to be that age and to be close to people that you looked up to. I got an autograph from Jimmy,” he recalled. “I was able to go to the U.S. Open when he made his run and I couldn’t get near him. But with World Team Tennis, I was able to go up to him, get an autograph and have a conversation. I was a huge fan of the proximity it afforded me and I was able to get that at such a young age. That was probably the first impression World Team Tennis made on me.” The way this season will shape up is that the Empire is one of six teams, alongside the Orange County Breakers, Philadelphia Freedoms, San Diego Aviators, Springfield Lasers and Washington Kasties. There are two men and two women to a team and five sets of tennis are played each night—one set each of men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles. Whichever team wins the most games at the end of the five sets wins the

New York Empire Captain Andy Roddick

match. The season runs from July 31 through Aug. 13 and the top two teams will advance to the Mylan WTT Finals, which will be held at Forest Hills Stadium on Aug. 27. There will be pre-match activities, contests on-court and children 16 and younger will have the opportunity to come on the court at the end of each match to get autographs from the players. All of this is something Empire Coach Patrick McEnroe is clearly thrilled about when it comes to making tennis relevant again in Forest Hills. “It’s incredible when you think about the history there,” he said. “I’m so happy that the club and these concert promoters have resurrected the stadium. I think that this is another great step for the club and for the history to get some real professional tennis there.” Visit www.wtt.com to find out more about Mylan World Team Tennis and www.foresthillsstadium.com to find out more about Forest Hills Stadium.

Bunkers menace golfers at Bethpage State Park

Where The Golfing Never Ends BY JOE SCOTCHIE

JSCOTCHIE@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ong Island has long been a mecca for golf lovers. Back in the 1930s, when he was out of baseball and still hoping to manage the New York Yankees, Babe Ruth used to leave his Riverside Drive apartment every morning, drive out to southeastern Queens and play a round of golf at a course in St. Albans. After World War II and the suburban housing boom, many of those old courses were bulldozed to make room for residential units. Who would notice? The county still has many fine courses for golfers to go out and hack away to their heart’s content.

A String Of Poloponies... That’s Polo Ponies BY CHRISTY HINKO CHINKO@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

erhaps the best pop reference to polo came in 1956, in The Honeymooners “On Stage” episode (season 5, episode 31) when Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) and Ed Norton (Art Carney) are reading a script for a play they are rehearsing for. Norton: (reading his script) I don’t possess a mansion or a villa in France or a yacht or a string of poloponies. Ralph: (reading from the script) I’m glad to hear... [he stops suddenly then says] A string of poloponies? Where do you see that? Norton: (pointing) Right there, “a string of poloponies.” Ralph: That’s “a string of

POLO PONIES!” The audience roars with laughter. Honeymooners fans still make reference to that scene more than 60 years

‘‘

It’s the easiest sport to play, but the hardest sport to play well.

’’

later, and in fact, the reference was recently overheard between two polo fans at the Bethpage polo fields during last weekend’s Meadowbrook Polo Club’s league tournament

against 101 Polo Club. Played for more than 2,000 years, polo—the “Sport of Kings”—is one of the only sports that is celebrated and played worldwide and it has a rich history here on Long Island. The Meadowbrook Polo Club is the oldest continuously operating polo club in the United States, first established in 1881. Some people dispute a horseman’s athleticism. We’ve heard people question, “How can they be considered sportsmen?” “If you play golf, you are hitting a ball with a 40inch club; it’s teed up for you and you’re standing still,” said Bob Ceparano, president of Polo at the

Park. “Now, think about this: you have four reins and a whip in one hand, a 1,000-pound horse underneath you, a mallet that’s more than 50-inches long; the ball’s traveling up to 120 mph, someone is running into you with another 1,000-pound animal, and your horse is not necessarily a willing participant.” The skill involved is not just hitting a polo ball and staying on a horse. In addition to owning the club and teaching the sport, Ceparano has played the sport for dozens of years.

He took ownership of Bethpage Polo approximately six years ago. “This sport is about absolute control,” said Ceparano. “It’s the easiest sport to play, but the hardest sport to play well.” Polo at the Park, for 84 years, has been located at Bethpage State Park in Old Bethpage. Games run on Sundays through Oct. 9 at 3 p.m. Visit www. bethpagepolo.com or call 516-500-7656 for tickets, sponsorship information and also theme days on the schedule.

LONG ISLAND WATERS

Long Island Fishing Report —July 14, 2016

BY RYAN SCHLICHTER

SPECIALSECTIONS@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

nglers have been continuing the trend of successful fishing this past week. Fluke have been hot in most waters across Long Island even as porgies and sea bass blanket the bottom. Big bass and blues are making their way east following large schools of bait that are still around. Offshore fishing has reached a point of reliable fishing as tuna and sharks are landing on the docks. John from Hudson Park Bait and Tackle reports big bass being caught this week, as well as bluefish. Both have been chasing the numerous

Bluefin tuna

schools of mature bunker. The blues have run 12 to 18 pounds on the average and the bass have been weighing in at 20 to 30 pounds. Fluking has been good if you can find the right spot. The top of the list caught this week was a 9-pounder out of the New Rochelle area. At Stella Maris in Brooklyn, Stretch has had great scup fishing with slabs being caught mostly on sand worms. These fish have been stacked up around the Rockaway Reef as well as from shore of the local beaches. Fluke have also been biting on both these fronts with a lot of shorts still mixed in. The striper action has been best at night using live eels. There are still a few blues around, although not the monsters that had been all over at the start of the season. Musketa Cove owner John, in Glen Cove, has also seen decent bass action. There have been a couple bluefish to be had but it seems

they are now heading east of the area. Sea bass and porgies have been the best action in any waters that have structure on the bottom. Sand worms, clam and the squid/ spearing duo have all helped anglers to limit out. Ashley from Bay Park Fishing Station reports awesome catch and release fluke action with an 11.8-pounder weighed and released at the dock. It’s always a great sight to see a monster go back. Ashley confirmed the reports of sea bass and porgies at the Rockaway Reef. There have been some bluefin tuna inshore as well as a few big bluefish, but cocktails seem to be most active in recent days. At Terminal tackle, John still has some big stripers and blues chasing the bunker schools as they move east. If you can find the schools there is always something feeding on them. Fluke fishing continues to be solid and porgies have been phenomenal. The best action has been off the beach as the scup hold tight to shore to keep distance from the looming bass and blues. Sea bass however, have been deeper; try in 40 to 60 feet of water over any structure. The biggest ones have come in at 3 to 4 pounds. Brendan from Captree Bait and Tackle has strong fluke reports from right off the Captree Piers. A 3-pound fish topped the scales this week and although not every fish is a monster, there are plenty to be caught. The big blue bite has slowed down as the fish move out of the area but there are still some lingering choppers left behind to bend the rod. There are also still plenty of cocktail blues around. Young anglers will be satisfied with the snappers that are beginning to be picked and sea bass have been

consistently good as well. Offshore, shark fishing has been terrific as blues, makos and threshers have all been hooked this week. There was even a small, 4-foot great white caught and released accidentally as these fish are on the endangered list. Northport Charters’ Captain Stu continued to have strong fluke fishing. His last trip saw about 30 summer flatties come aboard with a 6-pound fish leading the way. Big porgies have also been around with some stretching the tape to 16.5-inches and many anglers limiting out. Sea bass have been good in the right areas and pushing weights of 3 to 4 pounds. Striper action has been picky with most keepers in the 20-pound range. These fish, as well as some blues, have been caught while chunking with bunker. The bluefish have been 13 to 14 pounds on average. At Cow Harbor Bait And Tackle, Mark has seen an improvement in big blues hitting

Sarah Heuer with a 40-pound bass taken just outside Moriches inlet

down the Sound side. Fluke fishing has been active but keeper ratio is about 5 to 1. Scup and sea bass have both been stacking up on rocky bottoms taking clam, squid and sandworms. The bass have been best at first light for those throwing bunker chunks as they are still finding schools in the inner bays and harbors. Aboard the Jib VI, Captain Joe had his best week since the start of June. Sea bass were excellent, as were fluke, over the past few days. Many on board have been filling their limits on both. The fishing has been best on the end of incoming and beginning of outgoing tide. The night trips have also seen success considering the limited number of bass and blues around at this time. Those trips have been targeting fluke and sea bass. Craig from Smith Point Bait and Tackle still has plenty of bunker in the Moriches area. Triggerfish have moved into the waters just off the jetty, along with sea bass and porgies. Fluking continues to improve with great action just to the west. A 7.5-pound fish was weighed in by a local angler at the shop. In the backbay, kingfish have been around and are taking clam strips. Also in these areas have been lots of cocktail blues

along with some school bass smacking Porgy diamond jigs. For those without a boat, the blue claw crabs have shown up in great numbers and are ready for picking. Further east in Southold, Steve from Wego Fishing reports that the saltwater fishing is hot. Fluke are still holding steady east of Gardiners Island and on the Sound side. Sea bass and porgies have been all over to the point where it is tough to drop a line without running into a few at this point. The porgies have been on the Sound side too, and the size is increasing by the day. On the bay side, weakfish and cocktail blues have been making their presence known and snappers are finally getting started. At White Water Outfitters, Jake has seen good action in Shinnecock Inlet with both bass and fluke. The fluke are still a mix of shorts and keepers, leaning towards the short side but improving in size each day. Bass fishing has finally picked up as the big fish continue to make their way east. Offshore, anywhere from 25 to

45 miles, there has been a great run of bluefin Triggerfish tuna as well as a few sharks. The sea bass have also been biting offshore in the deeper waters at about 60 feet. In Montauk, at West Lake Marina, Tonya reports that the fluke and striper action has continued to produce. A 12-year-old angler reeled in a 45.7-pound bass this week, followed by a 15-year-old bringing in a 43-pounder. The average bass has been around 40-pounds and holding steady since last week. As for the fluke, a 9-pound fish topped the scales at the shop with plenty of other keepers filling angler’s coolers. TJ from Gone Fishing Marina also has seen strong action with the summer flatties. A number of keepers in the 6- to 9-pound range have fallen for squid, spearing and “Gulp! Nuclear Chicken” baits. Bass fishing has been hit or miss but there are plenty of big fish around. Offshore, there have been some tuna coming in at around 125 pounds. There have been a couple reports of codfish showing up offshore but not

in great numbers. Montauk Marine Basin reported a nice spread of fish: everything from bass, sea bass, fluke and porgies. The porgies have been big in size—up to 16-inches—and are in very large schools. The sea bass have been improving and if you can find a rocky bottom, they should be close at hand. Joe from Staten Island Tuna Club reports a drop in big bass action. Fluke, on the other hand, have been red hot. There have also been keeper-sized weaks reported out of Raritan Bay. In Oceanside, Paul from River Bay Outfitters has seen good fishing off the local beaches. The fluke have been around but you have to pick through a lot of shorts for a keeper. The night fishing has rewarded those tossing bunker chunks or live-lining eels with blues and school bass. On the freshwater front, night fishing has been best as the hot summer days tend to slow the big fish down until the graveyard shift. Ryan Schlichter blogs for On The Water magazine.

Making The Most Of Summer

Send the kids back to school smiling, knowing you all had a blast

BY SHERI ARBITALJACOBY

SARBITALJACOBY@ANTONMEDIAGROUP.COM

ummer always seems to fly by way too fast. But, somehow, heading back to school seems less painful when you’ve had an awesome break, doing all the things that embody the season. Nothing says summer like being outdoors and, since we’re surrounded by it, spending time on or near the water is essential. Take a few afternoons off from work. Relish these last few weeks before Labor Day, enjoying activities that make you feel you’ve taken full advantage of the warm weather and all that Long Island has to offer.

Catch Sunset Over the Nautical Mile

Watching the sun set from the sea summarizes Long Island’s summer style. Freeport Water Taxi offers reasonably priced sunset cruises, where you can sip cocktails as you watch the sun go down. Before or after the boat trip, walk the Nautical Mile and dine on seafood from a dock overlooking the water. The 90-minute South Shore sunset cruise departs at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and 60A | SUMMERTIME! 2016

Sundays and costs $25 per person. On Saturday nights, live steel drum music by Kalypso Kevin will transport you to a tropical island for just a little while. • 211 Woodcleft Ave. on the Nautical Mile in Freeport; www.freeportwater taxi.com; 516-521-7744.

Cool Off at a Spray Park

In addition to a playground, lighted tennis, handball and basketball courts, athletic fields, an 18-hole mini and 9-hole golf course, illuminated driving range and indoor ice skating rink, on the 127 acres at Cantiague Park, you’ll find an amazing aquatic complex, which includes an Olympic-size pool; two water slides for children taller than 45 inches; diving, kiddie and training pools; as well as an interactive water-play area for those younger than 10. Conveniences like lockers, showers and a refreshment area are also available. • 480 West John St. in Hicksville; www.nassaucountyny.gov; 516-571-7056. A similar Nassau County offering on Wantagh Park’s 111 waterfront acres provides a playground, tennis courts, a basketball court, athletic fields, one-mile and two-mile paths for walking, bicycle riding or jogging, a two-mile fitness trail for jogging or walking with 20 fitness stations as well as a swimming complex that includes an Olympic-size main pool; diving, kiddie and training pools; an interactive water-play area and two

30-foot water slides. The pools at both parks are open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. With a Leisure Pass for Nassau County residents, which costs $25 for three years, admission is $8 (adults), $6 (children 4 to 17) and $4 (seniors, disabled, volunteer firefighters, ambulance corps, auxiliary police and veterans). • One King Rd. in Wantagh; www.nassau countyny.gov; 516-571-7460.

Go Kayaking

Whether you have the time to drive to the Hamptons or ferry to Fire Island, or just have a few hours to run your toes through the sand, one last trip to the beach is mandatory before wrapping up summer. A day at the seashore in Bayville or Long Beach, followed by a walk along the sand or boardwalk, eating al fresco and savoring a treat at a local creamery, make for a memorable day.

Visit an Old-Fashioned Amusement Park

Well worth the 90-minute drive from central Nassau, for more than 40 years, the Land of Make Believe has been bringing visitors back to simpler days at this oldtime amusement park. What makes this trip even more worthwhile is Pirate’s Cove WaterPark, which offers an enormous pool area replete with an interactive pirate ship and water slides. In season, the park is open every day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The pay-one-price admission includes all rides, shows, attractions, Pirate’s Cove and free parking for $27 (adults), $29 (children 2 to 18), $25 (seniors 62 and older) and is free for children younger than 2. • 354 Great Meadows Rd. in Hope, NJ; www. lomb.com; 908-459-9000.

or parents who have little ones away at camp, summer can be a time for thrills, bonding and even reliving their own childhoods. Day trips, nighttime dates and new hobbies can be explored and couples can build exciting memories to share with their children when they return.

Swing on a Trapeze

Learn to fly with your loved one by taking a trapeze lesson at I.FLY Trapeze (www.iflytrapeze.com) at Eisenhower Park or Long Beach. I.FLY offers daytime, afternoon and evening classes for all ages. If you’re interested in trying it with your significant other, a

one-and-a-half-hour class is a good choice. “Some people want to try something new and thrilling together and some want to overcome their fear of heights,” said Anthony Rosamilia, co-owner of I.FLY. Ann Marie Cagnazzi, a 31-yearold student at I.FLY, loved her first flying experience. “At first I was nervous to try the trapeze because it was new and I wanted to do well. After jumping, I loved it and joined a class.” Going on a trapeze is safe at I.FLY. “There is a net underneath

you. If you do a trick and you’re doing something wrong, there’s a harness on you and there’s someone at the bottom controlling your harness. They will catch you and make sure you land softly,” said Cagnazzi. Trying this new experience together is a way of creating memories. “It’s a bonding experience,” said Rosamilia. “Many people go on dates at I.FLY. You can cheer your significant other on and encourage them.”

Learn to Dance Like the Stars

Tango, salsa, swing, hustle, waltz or foxtrot with your partner at the Ballroom of Huntington (www. ballroomofhuntington.com) at 508 New York Avenue. Through private lessons and classes, the studio teaches adults how to dance. “When potential clients visit the studio, we evaluate them through a complimentary lesson to see where they are at. If they have no experience, they can take a few private lessons, but we also have classes for all levels,” said Denise Defeo, owner of Ballroom of Huntington. Instead of attending your children’s recital, you can participate in your own at the end of the summer—the dance studio offers showcases every month. “It’s like a recital. Dancers don’t have to do it, but it’s something fun they could always look forward to. They could dress up, use props and show off what they learned,” said Defeo. She believes that couples who learn how to dance together can rekindle a relationship. “It’s a bonding activity for them,” she said. “It’s a way for them to get to know each other all over again and it can help them remember why they married each other.”

Take a Boat Cruise

Sailing seven days a week during peak season, Captain Rick Cohen tours the bay with passengers on 60- and 90-minute daytime and sunset cruises. Harbor-seal-watching and eco tours allow passengers to get equally close to nature, while those visiting Freeport or Point Lookout can enlist the taxi services, which make it easy to visit several waterfront landmarks and eateries, including seafood haven Rachel’s Waterside Grill and Crow’s Nest Mini Golf. The boat can also be chartered for bird-watching tours based on the season, as well as fishing trips. The Freeport Water Taxi (www.freeportwatertaxi.com) also offers summer wine or beer tasting on Thursday nights. “The sunset cruises are very romantic and relaxing. Passengers can listen to music, bring food and enjoy a full bar,” said Cohen. “It’s a great activity for a couple to enjoy and it builds memories.”

Explore Your Inner Tarzan

Have you ever wanted to explore the treetops and go ziplining? The Adventure Park (www.longislandadventurepark.org) at 75 Colonial Springs Road in Wheatley Heights offers seven acres of woodland and 10 trails for all climbing levels. Couples can go during the day and bring a picnic or enjoy a romantic night when the trees are illuminated. Ziplining is a safe activity. Before you begin, you attend a 15-minute orientation session. Throughout your time in the trees, you are attached to a safety cable, so if you lose your footing, you are safe. Staff will also assist and advise you if you need help. “The park is designed, so you don’t have to be an accomplished climber, because we have multiple trails to choose from,” said Tony Wellman, communications director for Adventure Parks of Outdoor Adventures. “This is a bonding experience

for anyone who climbs together because they are sharing a fresh experience and overcoming obstacles, which is thrilling and empowering. Everyone leaves the park a little different,” said Wellman.

Go on an Exotic Car Ride Have you ever wanted to drive a

Lamborghini Gallardo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Maserati GranTurismo, Nissan GTR, Audi R8 or an Aston Martin Vantage with your significant other? Velocity Driving (www.velocity driving.com) at 1255 Hempstead Tpke. in Uniondale offers Supercar Driving Tours. Known as the summer destination for celebrities and CEOs from all around the world, you’ll fit right in behind the wheel of one of Velocity’s exotic sports cars. Leaving from the headquarters in Nassau County, you can join a group and try out as many as five different exotic and supercars with two hours of total driving. This is a

nice, slow-paced day for those who want to enjoy their time behind the wheel. Driving tours start at $1,200 and include a passenger. Velocity driving also offers a Supercar Driving Experience, where you can purchase as many laps around Nassau Coliseum as your heart desires—in your dream car. With one of Velocity’s driving instructors riding shotgun, you get to experience these cars the way they were meant to be driven. All cars have a semi-automatic paddle-shift transmission with no clutch pedal, so no manual experience is needed. “If you and your partner in crime are into cars and exciting things, this is something for you. No other place in the area offers this. This is definitely an experience of a lifetime,” said Chris Scaturo, event manager.

Paint a Memory

Take a trip to Farmingdale for a paint lesson at Paint and Main (www. paintandmain.com) at 230 Main Street. Not only will couples spend time together, they will take a completed piece of art home to display. “The classes are designed for those with little to no art experience and we have couples’ nights where each paints a separate canvas that can be combined into one work of art,” said Reem Hussein-Iacovelli, owner of the art studio. “All the necessary materials are provided and the staff walks participants through each step. The class takes about two hours.” Most adult classes are given during Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Hussein-Iacovelli believes that a paint lesson can make a fun date night for parents. “I consider it a bonding activity because when you are trying something new in general, it’s comforting to have someone next to you who you feel comfortable with,” she said. “After painting something they can keep forever, they can enjoy the many restaurants and bars that Main Street offers.” Summertime is your time to be a kid. Which will you choose?

Holiday Mathis Holiday Mathis Mathis HOROSCOPES ByByByHoliday

INTERNATIONAL WORD FIND Western Australia

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You need time to yourself to recharge and get inspired. Inevitably, this time feels like a waste to you, as the productivity involved is so sly it’s invisible. That doesn’t make it any less real. Your down time is glue that will hold the other pieces of your life in place once you return to the tasks with more visible results.

Solution: 18 Letters

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people you love will criticize you from time to time, and these comments will land with pointed and painful precision that could only come from someone who knows well where to poke. More than anything else, these comments will accelerate your growth process. You’ll take note, stay positive, and become amazing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Once you know you have the right solution, you’ll feel great. That doesn’t mean you won’t need time to implement, adapt, recover -- getting to the destination will be a process. But the work is in finding the right answer. Once you have the right answer, it’s like stepping onto the train: All that’s left to do is ride. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your story is in full force. Much of the week you’ll be involved in various forms of collecting. You’ll capture bits of life in notes, pictures and conversational sound bites. You’ll recall memories and frame them in your mind anew. Some will rise to the level of art, defining who you are, informing your next decisions. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A sunset looks like the sun is sinking, but it’s really the earth doing all the moving -- one of the many illusions we live by each day. Relationships have illusions, too. Who’s really pulling back? Are you reaching in, or have you been lured and hooked on a line? Most importantly, how much does this matter to you now?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wherever you go, start off in a happy frame of mind. It’s just the frame. You don’t have to actually be happy. If you aren’t, you aren’t. But carry the mental frame anyway, to increase your chances of seeing the world as a wondrous place with endless potential for joy and beauty. Your people rely on your cheerful perspective. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The awareness that you were sleeping usually comes after you’ve been startled awake. This week features a lucky disruption, an energetic shake-up that will cause you to hold your inner life up for examination. There is a way to break the emotional patterns that have caused you so much pain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You seek new teachers and methods. Beware of advice espoused by well-meaning amateurs. Look for the real-world proof. Without that, the entire exchange is a waste of time. Did it work? Is it still working? This is what you need to know before you plunk your money and your energy into a new plan. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sales can be counter-intuitive. Sometimes you make the deal sweeter by taking something away from it -- holding a very desirable aspect of the arrangement back. Also, don’t assume that you understand what’s valuable to the other person. Experiment in this regard. You’ll likely be surprised at what you learn. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Progress may seem to be excruciatingly slow on the major issues dominating your mind and schedule -- all the more reason to celebrate the small victories you experience this week. Put the following items on your emotional grocery list: validation, reinforcement, motivation and inspiration. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your high level of emotional intelligence allows you to somehow understand another person’s plight even though you don’t have personal experience remotely close to the matter. You’ll experience such a strong and unlikely connection that you’ll wonder if destiny’s hand is pointing out a past life to you!

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

A great leap forward is a risk; you could land funny and stumble backward instead. But during this week of your solar return, the fortunes favor you. Whether you opt for the comfortable low risk of taking small steps forward or go for the thrilling long-jump opportunity presented to you, you’ll win. By mid-September you’ll feel like a different person with more options. November brings travel, new friends and a change in your professional trajectory. Domestic improvements dominate 2017.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your focus on others has made you rich in friendship, love, maturity and wisdom, and poor in time. It was so worth it! Still, this week it has to change, if only because you won’t feel quite like yourself unless you hit certain goal posts. And you won’t hit the goal posts until you are the priority of your schedule.

Summer is right around the corner, and families will spend more time outdoors. Exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays increases the risk of skin cancer, which is why proper sun protection is essential. In fact, the sun’s UV rays are responsible for about 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 86 percent of melanomas. “Exposure to UV radiation is directly linked to all three forms of skin cancer,” said Perry Robins, MD, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation. “By adopting good sun safety habits families can enjoy summer outdoor activities without increasing their skin cancer risk.” Here are some tips to help enjoy a sun-safe summer:

• Use a broad spectrum sunscreen daily. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating. • Cover up with clothing. Look for high-UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) swim shirts or rash guards and choose bathing suits that cover more skin, like one-piece suits and long trunks. Make sure to apply and reapply sunscreen to exposed areas of the skin not covered by fabric. To help avoid missing spots, apply sunscreen before putting on your bathing suit. When shopping for high-UPF clothing, look for The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. • Avoid tanning. There is no such thing as a safe tan, because tanning itself is caused by DNA damage to the skin. In addition to increasing skin cancer risk, tanning also leads to premature skin aging, including wrinkles, leathery skin and age spots.

At Summer Camp

• Remind kids to seek the shade.

Advise kids to play in shaded areas to limit UV exposure. Check with counselors to see if there are adequate places for campers to seek shade during outdoor activities taking place between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are most intense. • Dress kids in sun-protective clothing. For optimal protection from the sun, send kids to camp in sun-protective clothing. Look for tightly woven or knit, dark- or bright- colored fabrics, that offer the best protection. Don’t forget wide-brimmed hats and wraparound UV-blocking sunglasses. • Practice sunscreen application beforehand. Teach children to apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons, or about the size of a golf ball) of sunscreen to all exposed areas 30 minutes before outdoor activities. Remind them to cover easily missed areas such as the back of the neck and tops of the ears. If camp rules allow, ask counselors to help children reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after swimming or excessive sweating.

On the Road

• Treat your vehicle to window film. Car windows don’t provide complete sun protection. Though UVB radiation is effectively blocked by glass, more than 60 percent of UVA radiation can pass through windows. UV-protective film, also known as window film, blocks out up to 99.9 percent of UV radiation. If you have window film installed, remember that it protects you only when the windows are closed. When shopping for window film, check to see if the product has The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. • Drivers beware. Nearly 53 percent of skin cancers in the US occur on the left, or drivers’ side of the body. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen, particularly when spending extended time in a car that has no window film. SUMMERTIME! 2016 | 85A
